in February , 1832 , he presented » letter of introduction from his brother , now parish priest of Teraple-• more , near Thurles , couatv of Tippcrarv , to a gentleman of influence , living at tho time in the Temple . In about six weeks after his first introduction he called on this gentleman , and much to his surprise produced a £ 50 note , whicli he requested hun to take care of for him . Thc gentleman _a-reed to do so , and , knowing O ' Connor ' s poverty , inquired how he became possessed of it . The latter said his mother had sent hira £ 15 , with which he had purchased contraband tobacco and cigars , and trading surreptitiousl y in thein , had amassed the _araou-it of the £ - " , !) „ tc . The gentleman at the time believed this story to be true , and as O'Connor
" was then endeavouring to obtain a situation in the Excise , he told him ironically tliat his practical knowledge of smuggling would * no doubt , if known to she Excise Commissioners , provc _* a greit recommendation in his favour . Before thc close of thc year i . _*" _cj 2 Patrick O'Connor bad placed in the gentleman ' s hands no less altogether than £ 184 , £ 100 « f which the gentleman invested in the funds at O'Connor ' s request . T « is rapid accumulation of ¦ mon ey excited the gentleman ' s surprise , and almost his suspicions that everything was not right . In the winter 1 S 32-3 O'Connor obtained , through the influence of thc late Bishop of Llandaff , the situation of tide-waiter in the port of London . In the mcintime hc had been , bitbv bit , withdrawincfrom
the gentleman s hands the £ 84 not invested , and got back thc last of it to buy a bed , which he said he was obliged to take about with him from one ship to another in the Thames , in the discharge of his new duties . He had hardly been instilled in his situation of tide-waiter , whenhe sent an attorney ' s letter to the gentleman , demanding payment of the -whole sum of £ 184 . The gentleman had no acknowledgment from O'Connor that hc had received back £ S 4 of it ; and probably legal pr oceedings would have been instituted , had not the gentleman , through his solicitor , who was a friend of the
solicitor of O'Connor , proved the latter _' s dishonesty by means of thc gentleman ' s laundress , to whom O ' Connor , on discovering that she was a widow , with a pension of £ 26 a year , and earning in the Temple as laundress to several gentlemen nearly £ 100 a year besides , made a proposal of marriage , and showed her one evening £ 50 , which he said lie had just received from her master , being a portion of money lent to hiin . O ' Connor ' s solicitor on hearing this ' refused to haVe anything more to . do ifith him , and the gentlennn sold out the stock to the amount of £ 109 , and through his solicitor returned O'Connor his monev . After this
transaction thc gentleman made inquiries as to O Connor ' s method of raising money , and found that he had got introduced to the late Bishop of _Lanilaff , ~ Mr . Darby , MV ., and several other proseletising Protestants , and that he knew of the Uexley fund , appropriated to the conversion of Roman Catholics . To these gentlemen O'Connor represented himself as one persecuted for his religions doubts by his brother , the Kev . Dr . O'Connor , and other Catholic clergymen , and he also alleged , there not being the slightest ground for the truth of the allegation , that his brother had wronged him respecting money bequeathed to the family by the "Misses Tobin _, who had been nuns in the ancient Ursaline convent of Thurles . By these
representations O Connor insinuated himself into the good graces of tbe Bishop of "Lindaff , Mr . Darby , Mr . _iiro-lerie . * , the gr andson of the then Archbishop of Cashel , thc laic Lady Osborne , mother of Mr . Denial Osborne , M . P . for Middlesex , and others , and obtained from them uot only large sums of money , hut the situation that afterwards led to his connexion with thc Customs as their guager in the London Docks . Promotion to the latter situation was owing to the influence of Mr . Shell , M . P ., when one ofthe commissioners of Greenwich Hospital , and who was indebted for his election to represent Tipperary chiefly to the exertions of Dr . O ' Connor , Father _Liflan , Mr . Phil Fogarty , and other friends of O'Connor .
These facts , combined with others already disclosed , would certainly seem to indicate that the force of a sensual passion was not the only bond of intimacy between the murdered man and his suppised _lnuv-U'rcrs . As the investigation , however , proceeds , tho mystery which at present hangs over this and other parts of the case will no doubt he removed .
On Monday Mr . J . Solomon attended thc Southwark Police Court for the purpose of making an application with reference to Maria Manning , charged witli being concerned in the murder of Patrick O'Connor . lie produced a document , authorising him to act as solicitor to thc accused , with her signature attached , which he had proenred from her that morning , in an interview he had with her in the infirmary of Uorsemonger-Iane gaol . Having exhibited the authority referred to , Mr . fc ' oloinon then , addressing the magistrate ( Mr . Seeker ) said that , acting in conformity with his instructions , he waited on his worship to make a request on tbe behalf of his client to be furnished
with a copy of the depositions of thc witnesses who were exa _* " _njned at _ that court on Friday last . lie was thc _ntoi _* e anxious- to procure the evidence already addueed . against the prisoner as he was not prcseut on tlie occasion , arid was therefore not in possession ofthe circumstances alleged against her . He was aware tbat it was not customary to be furnished with the depositions at so early a stage of the prosecution ; but in a case of this description , where so serious _ai . d dreadful a charge was preferred against a woman in the prisoner ' s situation ; he trusted that the usual rule might bc departed from in this instance , and that his application in her behalf might be acquiesced in . Mr . * Solomon added that wi en the prisoner was placed at thc
bar on Friday last , it was shortly after having performed a loagjonrney from Scotland , and that fron _* the fatigue _c-jnsequcnt upon it , together with the < Jm > . _* J _* fsi nature ofthe charge preferred against her , it was uwe _ir- ' _jb-. ible tb . it she could bc presumed to lave a _rci-olh-ction of what did transpire on thc oc casio :: with respect io the hearing of the evidence as applied to herself , aad this it was that made it incumbent on him to apply for a copy of the depositions already taken down , in order that she might have an opportunity , through him , of putting any quc-twii _** that might bc thought necessary _{<** , the witnesses previously examined . —Mr . Seeker said
that very liu le evidence had been taken as yet at this court against the prisoner—merely what was considered " sufricient grounds upon which to justify a remand . It was not thc rule , certainly , to furnish the professional advisers ofa prisonor with the _depositions at so early a siage of the investigation , hut under the peculiar circumstances of the • as-- in question Le should permit the applicant to have access to the minutes of thc evidence already taken down in order to guide hini as to his future conduct ofthe defence intrusted to his management by the party accused . —Mr . Solomon hating expressed his thanks , then withdrew .
_IXQUEST . The adjourned inquest on the body of Mr . O'Connor was resumed ou Monday . The evidence "was important . AV . Ivihk , a cabman , deposed to having taken two boxes in which some of the deceased ' s property was ibuBd , to the South Western ltailway _, and leaving them there by * direction of Mrs . Manning . Mr . Hay . _nts _, inspector of police , stated that he searched the boxes : —None of the articles bear the Initials , _"O'C . " Witness handed three silver spoons to the coroner , one with a crest , and two from wliich the crest seemed to have been erased . He also produced the skirt of a plaid dress , which was in the small box , the internal _lining of which
he said was marked with wbat be believed to be Wood , from the bottom to the top , where it was joined to the body . lie also produced the body of the dress , which appeared to have been recently washed ; also two small toilet covers , edged with lace , spotted and splashed in the same way , but the marks are more the colour of iron-mould than of blood , though evidently produced by some liquid . Mr . Moxlr , superintendent of the Edinburgh police , detailed the circumstances of Mrs . Manning ' s capture with the railway scrip , formerly belonging to O'Connor , in her possession . Ax . v _HiKMER , the landlady of the bouse where O'Connor _lo- _' igcd , said that from Thursday , the 9 tb , to the Mond . iv foUowinsr , no one but her sister and
herself had access to Mr . O'Connor s apartments , except Mrs . Maiming . The Coroner , in summing up , begged of the jury to dismiss from their minds everything they might have read on the subject ofthe alleged murder , and to consider only the evidence . Having referred to the nature ofthe wounds inflicted on the deceased , and also to thc secreted position of the body , he thought that thc jury would at once conclude tliat these wounds must hare been inflicted by some other person or persona than thc deceased himself . Then came the question who the person or persons - were that could have been induced to takeaway his life . He referred particularly to the evidence of Superintendent Moray , showing Mrs . Manning to he in possession of railway shares and Bank of
England notes which were proved to nave been the property ofthe deceased . It was for the fury to decide whether the deceased was murdered for the purpose of obtaining this property , and whether there was any other person in the house at So . 3 , Minver-place , when the murder was committed , than Mr . and Mrs . Manning , and whether , in fact , there was not sufBcient evidence , looking particularly to that of Mr . Massie , and to that wliich related tothe purchase ofthe shovel , to bring thc guilty * act home to those two parties . The room was tben cleared ( half-past nine o ' clock ) , and the jury , after deliberating for half an _Jiour , came to the following _yerdict : — "We are nanimously of opinion that the deceased , Patrick O'Connor , has been brutally murdered by Gcor « e Frederick Manning and Maria _Manninsr . " °
The following particulars in reference to the " irjgcdrmir probably be read with interest : — The circumstances under -which O'Connor made

the acquaintance of Maria de Roux arc thus described by an intimate personal friend of the deceased . In the early part of the year 1840 , O' Connor having obtained a fortnig ht ' s leave of absence , took it mto his head to go to Boulogne . Hc embarked at London Bridge Wharf , on hoard one of the London and Boulogne boats , in which Maria do Roux was also a passenger , she being then on her way to join Lady _Blantyre on the Continent . In the evening after all the other passengers had retired to bed , O'Connor and Maria de Itoux were left together in the saloon cabin , and here their first intimacy commenced . She appears to have communicated her name and the position she occupied to O'Connor , without any reserve , for upon his return to England he mentioned the fact of having met such a lady to liis friend , and expressed his intention of calling upon her at Stafford-house , as soon as she returned from the Continent . That hc
did so , and that a correspondence was kept up between the two parties for some time is also known , O'Connor having frequently spoken of visits he had made to Stafford-house , and also exhibited letters received from Maria de Itoux . One of these letters indicated that De llous was expecting or desiring that O'Connor should make her his wife ; for she asks him , " Of what good is it to continue our correspondence ? You never speak of marriage . " Among his friends the deceased made no secret of his intimacy with Maria de Roux , but he never led any of them to believe tbat he had any serious intention of marrying her . His object seemed rather to be to make it appear that he had great influence over her , and that she was very fond of him .
There is no doubt whatever tbat Manning married De Roux , in the hope that , through the influence ofthe noble family in which sho had resided , he might obtain an appointment under the government . It appears that he actually did obtain a letter from a member ofthat family which he personally delivered to the Premier , soliciting the situation of a landing waiter . Lord John Russell asked Manning what situation he had previously filled , and upon being informed that he had been a guard upon the Great Western ltailway , his lordship said that he could not recommend him for thc
appointment he sought , but he would at once give him a messenger ' s place , with a salary of £ 80 a year , if he thought it worth accepting . Manning at once declined the Premier ' s offer , and has been frequently heard to upbraid himself since for not having deceived the Minister as to his former calling _, and thus rendered himself eligible for a landing-waiter ' s situation . The brother of Manning , through the same interest , actually did obtain a situation as a messenger inthe Board of Trade Office , from which he has only very recently been dismissed in consequence of some quarrel with his brother officers . Manning and his wife entered upon thc occupation ofthe " Old King John ' s Head" public-house in Mansfield-street , Kingsland-road , early in October of last year . Tlie house is in Coding ' s trade , and both Manning and his brother were in the frequent habit of visiting the " Waterman ' s Arms" in the Belviderc-road—thc well known taphouse to that brewery—during his occupancy of the "OldKing ' s John ' s Head , " which , however , only lasted until January in the present year . A fact in connexion with tliis circumstance may here be stated , viz . : tbat a quantity of scrip and shares , and , we believe , some of the very numbers found upon Mrs . Manning , and supposed to have been stolen after thc murder of the deceased , were deposited in Messr ? . Coding ' s hands as security for the house in question while Manning had it . During their occupancy Mrs . Manning once paid a visit to the brewery and made an unsuccessful attempt to obtain possession of them , failing in which she became greatly excited , and left in a violent passion .
CAPTURE OF MASmG , AT JERSEY . ( From the Jersey Times . ) We are enabled to announce the gratifying fact Manning was captured on Monday evening , about nine o ' clock , and . safely lodged in prison . He arrived in this island last Thursday week , 16 th inst ., and took lodgings at Mr . Berry ' s , the Savy Aims , iu _MwltasteY-stTeet , "where he remained until the following Thursday morning , and on his then leaving , desired that his bed should bc kept for him , as be would return on Saturday . While there , he went out early in the morning and returned in the evening generally under the influence of liquor , of which he drank more before he retired for the night . He had once arranged with the captain of a sailing vessel to go with him early in the morning to Guernsey , but he did not get up in time . From his quitting the Navy Arms , until yesterday , there was no direct trace of him ; he took lodgings on Thursday last at Mr . Bertheau ' s , a private house a little off the St . Anbin ' s road , on this side the third tower , while there he kept very close , and might have remained longer concealed but for the notice taken ofhis so frequently sending to the same house for a bottle of brandy . This caused a suspicion , and information was given to Mr . Centenicr Chevalier , who immediately repaired to theplace , accompanied by two officers ofthe London Detective Police , ono of whom was well acquainted with Manning , from his having had to do with him in the affair of the mail robbery on the Great Western Railway , for which Poole and Nightingale were convicted . On arriving at the house it was ascertained that the _lodner was in bed . and admirable arrancements
were made for getting a sight of his face , and securing him before he could offer any resistance . lie was , however , easily captured , and was in a very nervous state . Sear him was a bottle of liquor anil a razor . He immediately recognised Mr . Edward Langley , of thc London police , and stated that he was glai hehad como as he was thinking of going to London to explain all . One ofhis first questions was , " Is the wretch taken ?"—alluding to his wife ; and , on being answered in the affirmative , he observed , " I am glad of it—that will save my life . " In subsequent conversation hc endeavoured to throw the whole blame on the woman , and stated that she had caused the grave to be dug some time before ; and , after having laid the cloth for dinner , had invited O'Connor down stairs to wash his hands , and while hc was going to the kitchen for that purpose , had taken thc opportunity of firing at him from behind .
The prisoner admitted that all the things in fhe room where he was lodging belonged to him , adding that hehad found a man to give him twelve pounds for his furniture in London—all the money he had to start with , of which seven sovereigns which he gave up was the remainder . On his arrival at the Savy Anns , in Mulcasterstreet , his first inquiry was to sec thc Times newspaper . —During his stay there he regularly breakfasted and supped with the other guests , but rarely dined with them . He carried himself rather high , talked of his losses by the French revolution , that he must go to France , and sliould require an interpreter , as hc did not speak the language . —During the passage from Southampton he had forced himself upon a respectable passenger , with whom he shared a double-bedded room , but to whom , as well as to
several masters of vessels , and others in thc house , he so behaved as to render himself anything but a favourite . He always evinced a great desire to see the newspapers , and on Saturday , the 19 th , hc went to the Union Hotel on purpose to read the Times . —At the Xavy Arms he paid regularly for everything he had , including a glass " of brandy , before he went away . This , coupled with his leaving a trunk , a coat , a pair of trowsers , & c , made the host fully expect his return . _So-othamptos , AVednesday . —Owing to there being no warrant to demand Manning from the Jersey authorities , he is not expected in Southampton before Monday evening next . Mr . Whicher _, of the London detective force , was in Southampton at fhe time the news of his capture arrived there , and telegraphed it to the Secretary of State .
We understand that the capture was made by the governor , his son , Serjeant Langley , and Constable Lockyer . The last two officers had been out all day on Monday pursuing their search , when , while returning to their quarters about half-past nine in the evening , the landlord of the house in wbich Manning was staying beckoned them to bite , aud stated that he had got a man in bed whom he strongly suspected was the man they were looking after , so nearly did he answer the description ofthe person charged with the murder of O'Connor , as printed and circulated by the police authorities .
It would seem that the officers did not immediately act without the presence of one of the local authorities , and the governor was sent for , and he soon arrived , accompanied by his son . All four then proceeded to the room in which Manning lay , and a sight of his face having been obtained , the governor threw himself upon Manning and secured him , out the latter offered no resi-tance whatever . Inspector Haynes left the metropolis on Thursday morning for Jersey , with the necessary-warrant to authorise the removal ofthe prisoner .
In the course ofthe morning Mrs . Manning was made acquainted with the capture of her husband at Jersey , and that his arrival . vas hourly expected . On receiving the unwelcome intelligence she turned pale , and a slight tremor waa perceptible , but these symytoms only lasted for a few seconds , and sho became as cool and as calm as if she was really innocent . When informed that Manning had _chained her with firing the pistol ehe said it was false , Ibr she knew nothing of the murder—that she was quite innocent of everything connected with it . The authorities of the prison state that the prisoner
possesses the most extraordinary nerve they ever witnessed . Sho eats her meals heartily , and retires to bed about eleven o ' clock at nigbi ; and her sleep remains unbroken until about eight o ' clock in thc morning . She makes no allusion to the murder , nor has thc name of O'Connor or that of her husband once escaped her lips . Front some circumstances which have transpired , the ; _-ooliee are of opinion that a third party is mixed up in the murder ; and on Thursday , Mr . Massey was questioned in reference toa Frenchman . He informed tho police that hc had often heard 3 Irs
Tukiir.U!!,::-;!!. • ; ¦ . - *• ¦ :. • :...
Manning speak of , but that he never saw the person ; and this op inion is confirmed by a letter being found , written by her , directed to the British Hotel , Boulogne , the contents of which have not been alio wed to transpire . . . Thc circumstance of Mannings flight from London , on the loth ult ., have been stated as follows : — " It appears that , on leaving Bainbrid ge , the furniture broker , hc got into a cab , which conveyed him by back streets and a circuitous route to the South-Western Railway . There all trace of him disappears , and he is not again heard of till on board a steamer bound for the Channel Islands , where a voung woman , to whom his person was known , recognised him . She had not then hoard ofthe murder , the news of which only reached her after landing in Guernsey . When , she became aware ofwhathadhappencd _. sheimmediatelycommunicated |
with the governor of thc island , who , in his turn , forwarded the information to thc Home-office . In the meantime , Langley , an officer had been despatched along thc South Western line to follow up the clue supplied by the cabman . When the police authorities heard that Manning had been recognised on board the steamer to the Channel Islands they despatched Langley thither in quest of him . — Soon after landing at Jersey , the officer found thc murderer ' s bo x in a lodging-house , where ha had slept for two ni ghts after landing , and which ho had left , with a carpet-bag in tho company of another male lod ger . Some papers found in thc breast pocket of a coat which was among the contents ofthe box , clearly established the fact that the property belonged to Manning . But the question then arose , what had become of him since ? At length a gentleman saw
two men , one of whom carried a carpet-bag , at St . Malo , endeavouring to strike a bargain with a boatman te carry them over to Guernsey . He wished himself to go there , and thinking that tho persons in question might be disposed to share the expence with him , he went up and addressed them . On asking them if they wished to cross Guernsey , he-was answered in a very surly manner that they did not ; and he left them . Shortl y after the remarkable resemblance of one of them to the description of Manning struck him , and he communicated the fact to the proper authorities . This confirmed the suspicion that Manning was still in the island , but several days passed , and his lurkingplace remained undiscovered until ten o ' clock on Monday ni ght , when a publican at Beaumont gave the information wliich led to his immediate arrest .
ARRIVAL OF MANNING IN LONDON . Frederick George Manning was brought over from Jersey on Friday in the South-Western Steam-packet Company ' s mail steamer tho Despatch , Captain Childers which ran into Southampton Docks , at ten minutes past seven o ' clock , having left St . Keller ' s at eight o clock that morning . An immense crowd of persons assembled in and round the docks in the course of thc evening . At seven o ' clock the vessel entered thc docks , and as soon as Langley , the police officer , was scon on deck , it was known that the alleged murderer was on board . Inspector Haynes went immediately on board , followed by a large number of persons , whom it was impossible to keep out of the ship . Manning was
in a cabin , handcuffed and strictly guarded by officers ; he was assisted out of the vessel , taken into the Custom-house , placed in a cab , and driven to the railway station . On leaving the ship between two officers , he affected to smile at the people who were looking on . lie was followed to the terminus by a great multitude , who manifested nothing but an intense earnestness to sec him . — Thc last train for the metropolis having left Southampton at six o clock , he was brought on to London by a special engine . The special train arrived at Vauxhall station at ten o ' clock-precisely , and a cab being in readiness , the prisoner was placed hi it , and conveyed in custody of Inspector Haynes and Sergeant Langloy to thc police station at Stone ' s-end , Borough .
RE-EXAMINATION OF MRS . MANNING . _Souiuwark Police Court , FniDAi . —Maria Manning was placed in the dock a few minutes aftor one o ' clock . Over hcv bonnet sho wore a thick black veil , which effectually concealed her features , except when she had to raise it for the puvpose of f iring the witnesses an opportunity of identifying er . Then it could bc perceived , though she bore herself with amazing coolness and self-posse 3 sion , that her eye was bloodshot , and that her features bore the marks of bodily fatigue or mental suffering .
Sho stood _during the whole time the examination lasted , occasionally remarking upon the evidence to her solicitor , who occupied thc place immediately beside her . Once durin < j- the proceedings Mr . Edwin asked her if she would take a glass of water . She thanked him , and declined . After the depositions were taken , nnd she was _remanded , Bhe left the dock as she had entered it , with a firm and confident _itep _, and appeared by no means annoyed by the crowd who now , despite the endeavours of the police , pressed upon her to obtain a sight of her features , and impeded in some degree ner egress from the court . The witnesses were William
Kirk , a cab driver , who took thc prisoner and her luggage from Minver-place , first to the Brighton Railway station , and afterwards to the Birmingham Railway ; and W . Day , a railway porter , who both proved the identity of the prisoner ; William Dyne , clerk of the cloak room , joint railway station , London-bridge , could not with certainty identify Mrs . Manning , as the person who left the luggage with him . Mr . Richard Moxey , supcrintendant ofthe Edinburgh city police , then gave tho particulars of the prisoner ' s arrest , after which she was remanded till Thursday next , at twelve o ' clock .
To show the excitement that prevails in tho mind of the public respecting the murder , a large number of people were disposing of portraits supposed to be likenesses of the prisoner and her husband , but , on a close inspection by thc purchaser they were found to bc old engravings of Rush and Emily Sandford . A number of the light-fingered gentry were busily engaged , and so actively employed were the polica around the court in keeping back the mob that they all escaped with tlieir booty .

WORSHIP-STREET . — A _Ca-ndwatf , for the Gallows . —F . G . Menzies , who described himself as a compositor and pressman , was charged with having given himself into custody under the name of F . G . Manning , and falsely represented that he had taken an active part in the late atrocious murder at Bermondsey . —Police-constable Gourley _, II 192 , stated that while on duty in Church-street , Shoreditch , between three and four o ' clock that morning , the prisoner advanced towards him , and abruptly inquired whether he would not like to secure the reward of £ 50 which had been offered by government for the apprehension of Manning , the murderer . Witness replied that it would certainly afford him satisfaction if he were able to secure the
perpetrator of such an atrocity , to which the prisoner rejoined , " Then , now is your time ; for I am the murderer Manning , and I am anxious to surrender myself to justice . " The prisoner at the time appeared to be greatly excited ; and , in a tone of extreme despondency , entered into a minute detail of the circumstances connected with the murder , and exhibited the silver cigar-holder now produced , wliich he alleged had formed a portion of the property he had found npon the person of his unfortunate victim . Witness put several questions to him , with a view of testing the truth of his representations , in reply to which the prisoner deelared that , in order to elude the vigilance of tbe police , he had fled to
Birmingham immediately after the commission of the murder , and had since been wandering about tho country , until his feelings of remorse and contrition became so insupportable that he resolved to return to London , and deliver himself up to the first policeman he happened to meet with . The prisoner was thereupon conveyed to thc station-house , on reaching which he at once retracted the whole of his previous statement , and disclosed his real name and address , the authenticity of which was afterwards confirmed by the landlord of a public-house in tbe Kingsland-road , to whom he referred as a voucher for his respectability . —In repl y to questions from the magistrate , thc prisoner intimated that he had been for somo time on officer of Excise , but having recently lost his situation , in consequence of a reduction in that department , he had resumed his original occupation of a compositor in the service of a master printer in _Philpot-lane .
and was truly sorry for having conducted himself in themanner described upon the present occasion , which he attributed to intoxication . — Mr . Kendall , the prisoner ' s employer , came forward and spoke in favourable terms ofhis general character , but said that he was addicted at times to habits of intemperance , and he had no doubt that he bad acted under the influence of intoxication in the present instance . — Mr . Arnold regretted that he bad no power to visit the foolish and mischievous conduct of the prisoner with an adequate punishment , as it was calculated most seriously to mislead the police , and to induce a relaxation in their exertions for the apprehension ofa murderer , upon the supposition that he was already in custody ; but he should order him to pay the usual drunkard s penalty of 5 s ., and require him to enter into recognisances to he of good behaviour for the next six months .
CLERKENWELL . — Another Persoxator op Manning . —The neighbourhood of this court , and its avenues , were crowded to excess , and thc utmost interest was manifested in consequence of a report being circulated that Manning , the murderer of Mr . Patrick O'Connor , was in custody , as having surrendered himself at Bagnigc Wells station-house . The prisoner , ifc appeared , on Saturday ni ght called at the station-house under the excitement of li quor , and represented himself as being Manning , the murderer .

Ho paid thc prisoner £ 100 on the 19 th of March , at the timo of signing the agreement , a second sum oftho same amount on the 13 th ot Julv , and the September one by anticipation on the 17 tli inst .-The Hon .,. Adolp hus Liddell , leaseholder ot a house , 7 , Lowndes-square , proved that he had let thc house spoken of to a lady named Bui * goyne from tho 20 th February to thc end of July , for -120 miincas . in Mav he received from thc prisoner 210
guineas , less the agency commission . A short tune sinco while on thc Northern circuit , he wrote to Messrs . Mares , requesting them to receive tho residue of the rent on his account . Prisoner both wrote and came , denying that he had received it , and made some excuses , allegin _** that- a Miss Blackctt , on thc part of Mrs . Biirgoyne , had stated that that ladv had been ill , and was unable to attend to business matters , Miss Blacket at the same time expressing hor regret at the delay . These communications were made in the present month , and on Wednesday week last the prisoner came to the hon . gentleman ' s house just as he was driving away from tho door to leave the town , and told him that Mrs . Burgoync _' s butler , who had the business __ in hand , was coming to their ( Messrs . Marcs' ) office to pay the money , and when he did so he would settle it .
Prisoner gave him clearly to understand that it had not been paid . Under these circumstances witness wrote to Mrs . Burgoyne , requesting her , if she had not already paid to Messrs . Mares , to pay tho money in to his ( the lion , gentleman ' s ) bankers , when he received an immediate answer from her . —As tho contents of the letter were not admissible in evidence they did not transpire . The evidence of the lady ' s butlev , who was next examined , clearly proved the nature of tho communication , which was to thc effect that she had paid the whole of the account . —Mr . Ballantine having asked for a remand to perfect thc cases against thc prisoner , which was not opposed by Mr . Humphreys , the prisoner , who was recommended by his legal adviser to say nothing at present , was remanded for a week .
SOUTIIWARK .--TUK _Boabd op Health and me Guardians of St . Georob the _Mabtvb . — -The Chairman and Board of Guardians of St . George thc Martyr , Southwark , were summoned for refusing to obey an order mado upon them by tho Board of Health , to appoint three extra medical officers in addition to those already employed in the parish . — Previously to the evidence being entered into , Mr . Bodkin shortly addressed the magistrate , observing that he appeared to support thc complaint on the part of the Board of Health . That tho order in question not having been complied with , the Board of Health considered it incumbent on them to adopt the present proceedings with the view of compelling thc gentlemen composing the board of guardians of
St . George ' s to appoint extra medical ofneors tor that extensive parish . He then referred to the mortality that had occurred in St . Gcorgcs ' s , owing to the cholera , and the necessity tliere was for supplying other medical officers in addition to those already engaged , and whose services , since tho breaking out of the epidemic , were constantly in requisition . It was most important that the duellings of the poor should be visited , and this could not be carried out to the extent that was required , unless an addition was made to thc medical staff ; for it was a well-known fact , when the premonitory symptoms of the disease made its appearance skilful treatment in the majority of instances had the effect , in numberless cases , of subduing the disease .
This was a circumstance well known to tlie Board of Health , and when it was attended to the most bcncfiicial results were experienced . Such , howover , was the supineness of thc poorer classes with respect to attending to the incipient symptoms of the epidemic , that in most cases they did not apply for medical aid until it had advanced to a stage that gave but slight hope of recovery . And this exemplified in a striking degree the paramount importance of having extra medical men engaged to assist in the performance of such onerous duties , especially in a parish which was visited with thc pestilence to such an extent . The learned gentleman
added , that since he had entered tho court hc had had an opportunity of consulting with Mr . Fitch , thc clerk to thc hoard of guardians of St . George ' s , on the subject , and the result of which was , that it would not now bo necessary to proceed with the evidence in support of the summons against the guardians , who had given their assent . And , therefore , upon this understanding , he would apply that the summons mi ght stand over for a week , in order to give them due time for making the necessary addition to the medical staff of the parish . —Mr . Seeker at once assented to the application , and thc parties retired .
THAMES . —A Gaxg of Burglars . —Thomas Cooper , a silk weaver , George Jones , a carpenter , Francis Peacock , a professional burglar , who has retired for sonic time past , a reward having been offered for his apprehension respecting a burglary committed a short time since at Islington , and William Pearse , a * butcher , known by the slang term " Satch , " were brought up for rc-cx . imin . -ition , charged with the commission of several daringburglarios in the neighbourhood of Whitechapei . —On Tuesday week Cooper and Jones wore brought up , charged with breaking into the dwelling-house of Mr . Joseph Cohen , clothier , 49 , Prcscott-street , Whitechapei . They were arrested on leaving the house by Kelly and Gittbrd , thc " office" having
neon given to one ol tnem , wno was on the watch , by some women who no doubt were acting in concert with them . On that occasion Peacock and Pearse escaped , but they were captured and brought up by Kelly and Gifford _, on Saturday last , _v-hen evidence was adduced to warrant a remand , Kelly assuring thc magistrate that he and Gifford would in the interim produce evidence to establish several other cases of burglary against them . Three other daring cases have also been gone into . The first was that of Mr . Alfred Abbott , upholstery horse-hair manufacturer , Anchor-street , Bethnal-gvcen , whose warehouse , which formed partof his dwelling-house , was broken into about three weeks since , when 1 C 0 yards of hair seating and a quantity of drawn hair _.
to the value of about ± 53 , were abstracted . The place appeared to have boen entered through a cellar , which was in a very insecure state . —Sergeant Kelly proved that thc marks in the collartrap , as well as thoso mado in forcing Mr . Abbott ' s counting-house , corresponded with great exactness with a ripping chisel or peculiar construction found on Cooper when arrested for the burglary at Mr . Cohen ' s . —The next case gone into was a burglary committed at the House of Mr . Edward _Rounatrce , proprietor of the Weavers' Arms , Baker' _s-row , to the rear ofthe Pavilion Theatre , Whitechapei , last Friday night week . The fellows selected that night , being aware that tho salaries of tho actors would be left thero for payment next day . About
five o'clock in the morning of Saturday week , Mr . Roundtree , who had no boy at the time , was going down to assist thc servant girl in opening the shop , when the latter rushed up , crying out , " Oh sir , there have been thieves here . '' On going down he found that his dog , a fine bull terrier ef the larger breed , was dead . It had evidentl y been drugged in thc first instance , but the poison not operating with sufficient rapidity , its head had been " stove in , " probably with the formidable weapon with which Cooper rushed at Kell y , and wliich , aftor a desperate struggle , was wrested from him by Gifford , when the attempt was made to rob Mr .
Cohen s house on Monday week . After killin" the dog , which Mr . Roundtree seemed to fed the deepest loss , the thieves broke open a secretary and took £ 7 in copper , some silver spoons , two silver mugs , and other property to a considerable amount . The whole afiair was conducted with the utmost deliberation , _ivuvi hail tho fellows who are young , active , and determined-lookin g , ' been dis turbed at their work , fatal . results must have fQ { - lowed . -Ihey drank three bottles of wine , and car ried with thorn a fourth for further consumption 1 feergeant Kelly here _obser-yed that as Mr Abbott ' - _oww one most _wswmk of proof , he should

The depositions wero then takent Mr . Cohen ' s case , and the _nrisoners were committed on that charge , but will be brought up again to answer the other charges .

National Co-Operative Benefit Society. ....
NATIONAL CO-OPERATIVE BENEFIT SOCIETY . ... TO Tilt * EDITOR OF TUE SOUTHERN STAR . _StB , — "Will you permit me to set " myself right with the members ofthe above Society , and the country al large , respecting the truth ofthe following passage in the address of the " Trustees , and wliich appeared in the Star of last week ?— __ " Thomas Clark paid a sufBcient 6 um to constitute him ft . member , and shortly after claimed and received £ 10 on account of his wife ' s death , receiving the money in August , 1 S 48 , and has not contributed a _farthing since . " ....
I joined the Society at tho time of its establishment in May , 184 * 7 , and at thc period when the benefit was paid to me—I had been fourteen months a paying member , that is from the _commencement of the Society down to the time when I was overtaken by the calamity before mentioned . I was one of the earliest members of the Society , and in receiving the money , had g iven to me only what was my right and what I liad paid for . It is true , as thc " Trustees" havo stated , that I have not paid any money since August , 1848 ; but why is it time ? By an express rule ofthe Society it is made tho imperative duty of the Secretary , at the close of each quarter to make up the books , and forward a written notice to each defaulting member
ofthe amount duo by him to the Society , and requiring his payment of the same . The rule further provides that "in the event of tho Secretary neglecting to forward such notice , he shall be fined sixpence in each case for such negleot . " Was such notice ever forwarded to me ? No ; but , on the contrary , I more than once , twice , or thrice required of Stallwood to let me know exactly how I stood with the Society , and upon the last occasion , * , yhon I insisted upon knowing my liabilities to the Society , and paying the money , Stallwood actually had the effrontery to refuse to receive my money , on the ground ¦ that I had neglected to comply with the rules in not making my _iiamnents at the proper stated times , and
that livas therefore excluded . To the truth of this assertion Messrs . Dixon and M'Grath are prepared to make oath , as they were both present on the occasion and heard all that transpired . It was then that I discovered why all my inquiries respecting my position with thc Society had been studiously and systematically evaded . My arrears had been allowed purposely to accumulate , so that 1 should be debarred from looking too narrowly into tho state of the Society's affairs . It was highly desirable to get rid of one who was likely to prove troublesome , and hence thc trick of neglecting to furnish mc with any statement of my accounts with the Societv , which it was tho duty ofthe Secretary
to havo furnished . But supposing that I had wilfully neglected to havo paid my subscription for somo months , what was tho object of refusing to receive my money ?—I had already received £ 10 out of the Society ' s funds ; I had neglected , say , to pay my subscriptions for somo months ; but I insist upon paying all dues and demands , and the Secretary imperiously refuses to receive them , and thus are the other members out of whose joint subscriptions—along with my own—I had received tho advance of £ 10 , deprived of tho advantage of receiving my subscriptions in return . In all other benefit societies , the managers arc but too happy to receive tho arrears of their members , even where the subscriptions
have been regularly demanded at the proper time ; but in cases like mine , whero members have received benefits , every facility is afforded for the payment of arrears . They never think of refusing the subscriptions of members so circumstanced . I am a young healthy man , . 'ikcly to have paid into the Society for many years to come—almost certain to repay much moro thanl have received , \ _- \ vt my subscriptions arc refused because it is desirable to ' get rid of mo . And mark , Mr . Editor , all this done , too , without the sanction of any committee , and practised towards one of the Directors of thc Society . Such a thing was never known as the exclusion of a member for the purpose of smothering inquiry . There was no Committee , no " Trustees , " no Treasurer , no anything but Stallwood , except thc Directors , and tho very moment they
attempted to enforce their authority , and secure the property of the members , thc Secretary laughs at them , and knowingly reminds them " that they have no power . " No power in thc Directors ? No ! —The Society is not enrolled , and all the property in money and goods was in the name of Stallwood , and therefore he could mock thc Directors with impunitu . ' The "Trustees , " in tlieir production of last weekaccuse thc Directors of seeking thc annihilation of Stallwood . Stuff ! " Annihilate Stall-rood . " How ridiculous ! The Directors preferred against Stallwood the following charges : — That he has taken from the funds of tho Society nearly double the amount to which he was entitled . That he had paid himself tho full rent of his own house out ofthe funds ofthe Society , for what he was pleased to call " Office rent . "
That hc kept largo sums of money out of the bank , and -which sums of money would have been realising interest for the members , had not Stallwood kept it in his own possession . That thc state of his books and of the general affairs of the Society , proved him to be incapacitated through incompetency from acting as secretary The * ' Trustees , " who have only been in existence a-few weeks , oppose to tliese charges vague generalities , and clumsy attempts at personalities * which , however , are wholly inoperative , especially ' when meant as an answorto the statements above sat . forth .
In conclusion , sir , I assure you that neither myself nor thc other Directors , would have taken so much trouble with this matter , were it not for the fact that the Society was established entirely upon confidence in the Directors , and _thattliCy are bound to have the aiuiic clearly aifxed , vihich they are yet determined upon doing .
